Plants Can Poison Your Cat ! Cats or Kittens? If your indoor cat should accidentally One of the first things to do is to put food and water right by the door that the cat escaped from. Do this immediately and put some kind of shelter, or covered bed close by. Most cats do not go too far (unless chased away by other animals) and if you call the cat softly, throughout the day and especially at dusk and during the evening, your cat may hear a familiar voice and feel comfortable about coming to get the food. Remember, if the cat is an indoor cat, he or she will be terrified about being in the big, wide world and will hide as much as possible. If the cat can hear or smell someone familiar, it may come for food. Persist at doing this for a couple of weeks. In addition, put posters up in your area with a photo of your cat and contact the CRD Pound and SPCA to alert them that your cat is missing. Homes Needed for Semi-Feral Cats & Kittens: The cats shown on this site are domesticated, and (most) are accustomed to living as either indoor or indoor-outdoor cats in real homes. We recommend that, if possible, cats should be kept indoors all the time. But some cats do need to be allowed outdoors for an hour or two each day, provided this does not endanger them in any way.
If you can find it in your heart to help one of these cats, please call Beverly at 655-6451 for more information. I have one such cat in my house, Dr. Phil, he is the best friend to most of my cats and will even look after kittens who have been orphaned. About Cats Cradle Animal Rescue:

Your Pets:
Cats like to chew on
grass in order to regurgitate hairballs. This habit gets cats into
trouble! Many outdoor plants and houseplants are poisonous, even in
small quantities. Indoors, cats will readily substitute a houseplant
for grass. Outdoors they may unwittingly choose poisonous plants that
should be removed from your garden. <
Consider bringing a
young cat into your family instead of a kitten. Children love young
cats just as much as they love kittens, and it’s usually easier to
teach a child how to properly care for a cat. Kittens tend to be, well,
energized and a bit wild! “Contessa” (see photo) is about 3
years old, loves people, and is superb with children. Kittens are
a gamble as to what their personality will turn out to be…
Cats like Contessa are great fun for kids. Contessa has been adopted
but please go to "Our Cats" to see other cats who need homes !"
Many of the cats that need our
help, however, are semi-feral. We are desperate for homes for these
semi-feral cats and kittens. These cats will likely never be completely
domesticated but will make wonderful companions for other cats. They
should be able to be indoor-outdoor cats and will just require a warm
place to sleep and to be fed. They will be no trouble at all, you will
hardly know you have them. In time, they may warm up to human company
but they may not. The only other alternative to finding homes for these
cats is to release them where they will live a very difficult, short
life.
Cat's Cradle Animal Rescue was
founded to rescue, rehabilitate, spay / neuter, and re-home
distressed, abandoned, or neglected cats and dogs considered
un-adoptable by reason of health, age, appearance, or temperament. We
operate in Victoria BC, and the surrounding municipalities of the
Capital Regional District, including Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula.
We do not have a shelter. All animals that come into our care are
placed in foster homes until they are adopted. The society is a
non-profit organization. The society's operating funds are donated by
individuals and corporations, or result from our fundraising efforts.
